What Coaches are Looking for at Tryouts?
Skill & Basketball IQ Players who can handle the ball with both hands, make smart decisions, shoot with confidence, and understand how to play within a team.
Effort, Energy, & Enthusiasm Coaches notice the players who sprint to drills, dive for loose balls, and bring energy every possession — whether they’re on the floor or waiting for their moment.
Coachability Athletes who listen, make eye contact, apply feedback, and show a willingness to learn stand out immediately.
Communication & Leadership Talking on defense, echoing calls, encouraging teammates — coaches love players who are vocal, engaged, and positive.
Competitiveness & Character Coaches want players who compete hard, play with toughness, and show good body language — even when things aren’t going their way.
TWO WAYS TO PREPARE
Below are two options that give you the flexibility to schedule when it works best for you while helping you get the ball in your hands and receive great coaching this fall. Fall leagues are great, but getting consistent touches and quality coaching provides valuable opportunities for development.
Members who also attend classes get the perfect combination. Daily Shooting Reps. Time to learn from Just Hoops Coaches. Game speed drills and competitions. Confidence heading into tryouts!
